CHURN.l

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters'latent No.l 269,207, dated December 19, 1882. vApplication filed March 10, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom zt may concern Be it known that I, JONATHAN N. HOLEM, a citizen of the-United States of America, residing at Plymouth, in the county of Marshall and State of Indiana,` have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to rotary churns; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the annexed drawings, illustrating the invention, Figure l is a side elevation with -part of the outside casing out away. Fig.2 is a sectional View taken on the line x m of Fig. 3, as indicated by the arrow. Fig. 3 is a top view with the cover removed.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A is the outside or casing of the churn. It is cylindrical in its shape and divided into two parts-the bottom or lower part, B, and top or cover C-so arranged that the two parts may be readily attached securely together and separated at the pleasure of the operator or other person. B and C are provided with bearings b b, in which the journals c c on the end of shaft D revolve.

`D is a horizontal shaft having journals c c, and revolving in bearings b b, one end of the shaft being extended beyond the outside of the casing A for the reception of the operating crank-handle E, which is readily attached to the shaft D. Upon said shaft D, securely attached to the same and revolving therewith, are two beveled-gear wheels, the diameter of one being greater than the other, the larger wheel being designated by the letter F and the smaller by G. Fmeshes in the beveled gear H on top of plate K and G meshes in the beveled-gear wheel I on the end of the vertical revolving shaft L. 4

M is a cross-bar on the inside of the casing A, near the top of B, which rests firmly in the slots d d, or equivalent, and at the same time removable for the purposes of withdrawing the several inside parts forcleaning or for any other cause. M has a bearing, e, for the top journal of the vertical shaft L. The shaft L passes through plate K and cross-piecesff of large dasherframe R, and is journaled at its lower end inbearing on bottom of casing B. The shaft- L revolves independent ofthe plate K and framedasher B. It carries the square dasher S, composed of the upright pieces m m and cross-pieces n. fn, the cross-pieces n n being secured to the vertical shaft L, so that the dasher-frame S will revolve with the shaft L and on the inside of the square frame R, and revolving independent therefrom.

R is a square dasher-frame composed of the cross-pieces ff and vertical pieces g g. Ris secured to the bottom of the circular plate K in any appropriate manner and revolving therewith.

K is a plate on the top of R, andhaving on its top surface the circular beveled gear H, securely fastened to the same. The plate K fits against the inside of the casing, yet left free to revolve therein. It is provided with a rubber washer, t, underneath to prevent the contents ofthe churn splashing up over the plate while being operated. This washer t may be attached to the inside of the casing A instead of the plate K.

It' desired, the casing A may be provided with a glass window for the purpose of watching the operation within.

The several parts may be made of any suitable material such as churns are usually made of, and for the purposes desired.

The manner of operation is as follows: Upon turning the crank-handle E in either direction the shaft D will revolve, carrying with it'the bevel-gear F and G. F, meshing in the bevelgear H on the top of plate K, will revolve the dasher R in one direction, and the bevel-gear G, meshing in the bevel-wheel l, will revolve the shaft L, thereby revolving the dasher S in the opposite direction from that in which R moves, the velocity of It and S being such as desired by gearing of size to suit the velocity required when turning the crank in one direction. By reversing it the direction of the movement of the dasher R and S will be reversed, thereby seeuring what I call a double reversible77 action. With most of the churns now in use the cream is turned in one way, while my double reversible action reverses the cream and whips the butter out. All ot' the several parts are easily removed for cleaning, the machinery being very simple.
